The Benefits of Exercising Outdoors

Health and Wellness

Spring and summer in New York City is a great time to get outside and exercise. Exercising outdoors offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional health benefits. And you can support the great benefits of being outdoors and exercising with regular chiropractic care from the team at Williamsburg Chiropractic in Brooklyn.

The Benefits of Exercising Outdoors

When you take your workout outside, you're not just sweating—you're soaking up all the physical benefits nature has to offer. The uneven terrain challenges different muscles compared to a flat treadmill, enhancing strength and stability. Going for a run or jog through Central Park engages your core more, increasing balance and coordination.

The vitamin D from the sun strengthens bones and boosts immunity, while fresh air can improve cardiovascular health by increasing oxygen intake. Exercising outdoors exposes you to natural elements that stimulate a variety of senses, keeping workouts exciting and engaging.

Being outside in the sunshine boosts your mood by increasing serotonin levels, which helps regulate emotions and promote feelings of well-being. Additionally, exposure to natural light can help regulate your circadian rhythm, improving sleep quality.

Engaging in outdoor physical activities also provides an opportunity for mindfulness as you connect with nature and focus on the present moment. This practice can enhance your overall cognitive function and concentration.

Outdoor exercise also offers opportunities for social interaction, whether it's chatting with fellow runners or joining group fitness classes in the fresh air. Connecting with your neighbors and making new friends while being active outdoors can foster a sense of community and belonging.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
